DC Vegan Drinks Meat-Free Week
The next DC Vegan Drinks is just about two weeks away! We will be straying from our usual later in month event and will be having the event February 9th for Meat-Free Week.
What is DC Vegan Drinks? DC Vegan Drinks is a monthly social networking event for people interested in sharing veganism and advocating for animal rights. Our mission is to bring together people from all walks of life (lawyers, students, small business owners, etc…) to build a stronger community and promote the sharing of resources. There is no requirement except for an interest in veganism, animal rights, and to have a little after-work fun.
We will be having DC Vegan Drinks at Meridian Pint for Meat-Free Week we will also be having special guest John Schlimm Author of “The Tipsy Vegan“. John will be signing books and we will also be featuring some of his recipes from his book (not sure yet what will be featured).
In The Tipsy Vegan, award-winning author John Schlimm brings together everyone’s two favorite hangouts – the kitchen and the bar — in one big love fest of unforgettable creations. A member of one of the oldest brewing families in the U.S. and author of the largest beer cookbook ever published, John knows a thing or two about boozing up his food. From this son of a butcher who came out on The Ellen DeGeneres Show as a pro-meatless, pro-vegetable loving kind of foodie, The Tipsy Vegan will showcase 75 recipes using favorites from the bar circuit — wine, beer, vodka, et al. — as key ingredients.
Next Drink: Tuesday February 9th from 7pm to 10pm
Where: Meridian Pint, 3400 11th St NW Washington D.C. 20010
Metro: Green Line, Columbia Heights
